The somewhat introverted Starhill Gallery was reinvented as an iconic urban landmark that now features heavily in advertising Malaysia’s attributes to the World. SPARK designed a complex and cutting edge envelope which wraps the existing building in a crystalline skin of glass and stone panels, providing valuable visual connection to Bukit Bintang. The scope of work included upgrading the existing Marriott hotel entrance and lobby interiors, and designing a new triple-height, 2,000-sqm retail pavilion for the LVMH group using a prefabricated cladding system that reduced the on-site construction time by 40%. Starhill Gallery has become one of the most celebrated Kuala Lumpur landmarks, increasing the client’s brand profile and visitor numbers to the development by 26%.
